Description

  The present invention relates to methods, devices and processes for distributing various tasks performed by a mobile terminal over time.

  Currently, the power consumption of mobile terminals that require more power is a problem due to the provision of new functions related to the mobile Internet and third generation technology. Other issues such as network capacity, cost and quality of service (QoS) requirements that vary depending on the time and nature of the required service must also be considered.

  There are several known solutions related to flexible downloading of data by mobile terminals or e.g. sending and receiving e-mails. US Pat. Nos. 5,896,566 and 5,689,825 disclose the use of a battery charger module with built-in connectivity to a PLMN (Public Land Mobile Communication Network) network. When the availability of software updates is detected by the mobile terminal and the terminal is located in the charger, the updates are downloaded via the charger at the quality and speed of the fixed line network. However, this solution is rather costly and complex due to the complex double connection, which means that the available bandwidth on the air interface is narrow, the transfer of large data files is slow, and the signal quality is low. This is possible only in an environment where the error rate increases.

  Nokia 9110i (registered trademark of Nokia Corporation), which is a handset equipped with e-mail and other data communication functions, has a built-in function for fetching mail and information on a regular basis from web pages on the Internet. However, power saving or cost reduction has not been achieved.

Third generation mobile terminals, including UMTS (universal mobile communication system) terminals, have the capability and capacity to download data files quickly and without error over the air interface. It is pushing up to be almost comparable to connected devices. At the same time, it is required to increase the callable time and standby time at the time of use. By developing higher performance batteries and making power management more efficient, the power performance of the terminal is further improved. However, as expected by the arrival of mobile Internet browsing, frequent downloading of music or video files requires exploring all solutions that reduce the power consumption of these mobile terminals.

Whether the terminal needs to communicate with a mobile network or service is free. Can perform any desired task regardless of whether the terminal is connected to a charger, for example, bandwidth is available at a low charge and users often charge the terminal battery at night This can be executed under other favorable conditions such as at night when the terminal has learned.

In another embodiment of the present invention, the performance of background operation is shared with an “intelligent” charging unit. In this case, the charging unit makes it possible to reduce the processing power, memory and communication capability requirements of the mobile terminal.
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  1 and 2, the basic elements included in the concept of the present invention are transceiver (204), processing unit with timer function (203), program / data memory (201), user interface (202), etc. A mobile terminal (101) including the components of: a charging device (102) adapted to house the terminal, connect to its battery connector, and charge the battery (205) or the battery of the terminal (101) It is. In addition to the requisite power supply (207), the “intelligent” charger uses a memory (209) or a two-way data connection (206, 208) between the terminal (101) and the charger (102). Even a processing device (210) for temporarily storing or processing information transmitted from (101) may be included. Usually, the charger (102) is connected to a power outlet (not shown) of a home or automobile.

  In this first embodiment of the invention, the charging device (102) is not different from a commercially available device. The only function the charging device has is to charge the battery of the mobile terminal (101). The features of this embodiment will be described in detail below, including embodiments incorporating steps for learning and utilizing user charging behavior.

  The mobile terminal (101) has, inter alia, a music playback function, and the user orders to distribute music data files to the mobile terminal (101) via the Internet. The music file format is, for example, the popular MP3 format, or any other format that the mobile terminal can process. The amount of power required to receive MP3 music files is very large. Since approximately 1 MB of data is required to listen to music for 1 minute, according to the present invention, the user of the mobile terminal (101) can play music while the terminal (101) is connected to the battery charger (102). I would like to download and optimize the processing of background operations that consume a lot of power. Also, when the user has no time or does not want to listen to this particular music immediately, the file is ordered to be delivered to the mobile terminal (101) within 24 hours, for example. This delayed download is called background download.

  According to the flowchart of FIG. 3, the process of the present invention is initiated by a user who has issued an audio file download order (301). The mobile terminal (101) confirms whether immediate download or background download is requested by the user (302). Assume that the user has 24 hours as the default maximum time for background download. In this case, a specific time is not specified, and the terminal (101) identifies the command as a default background download command and assumes normal operation and the terminal (101) is connected to the battery charger (102). When connected, this download task is put into its command stack or into a similar queue of tasks (303) in memory (201) that is later executed by the processing unit (203). Furthermore, if the user intends to stop charging before charging is complete due to its irregular lifestyle or the like, it is advantageous to postpone the task until the battery (102) is fully charged. In any case, operations can be taken out of the queue according to, for example, a first-in first-out (FIFO) scheme or a predetermined priority. Command and operand stacks are within the general capabilities of system programmers, and this function need not be described in detail here.

  According to the flowchart of FIG. 4 of the second embodiment of the present invention, the mobile terminal (101) analyzes the user's battery charging routine and calculates a preferred time interval for executing the background task (401). . During this interval, the terminal (101) is most likely connected to the charger (102). After receiving an instruction to execute the task without the specified execution time (402), the terminal (101) postpones the execution of the task until the calculated time interval is entered (403). Typically, such tasks include downloading and pre-fetching content such as Internet pages, music, games, photos, etc., and the mobile terminal (101) can send a service (or another content distribution system) to, for example, Request to send MP3 music file between 1am and 6am. This is because the terminal (101) is normally connected to the charger (102) and the battery (205) is charged at this time. When the user wants to prepare a music file in the morning, the download is performed before this specified time limit. Other types of tasks, including just internal calculations (see below), in this case have a lower priority and defer execution until all tasks that require data transfer have been executed.

  In the case of the above-described embodiment, the calculation is performed regardless of whether the mobile terminal (101) is connected to the charging device (102) or not unless other determination rules are taken into account based on the monitoring of the user's behavior. It performs tasks that can be delayed within a time interval, and therefore may occasionally consume extra battery power. However, the device learns the user's behavior, the user gets to know the details of this function, and it is actually rare that a download or background process is performed without backing up the power from the charger. Yes, there is no impact during a power outage

  In the case of the third embodiment of the present invention, referring to the flowchart of FIG. 5, the terminal (101) can also calculate the time interval calculated to determine the appropriate execution time of the deferrable task (502) ( 501). Furthermore, the terminal (101) decides to wait within the calculated time interval (503) until the terminal is actually connected to the charging device (102) (504) until the end of the available time delay This wait time can be extended until the level of available battery power approaches a limit and it becomes dangerous to fully perform the queued task. Of course, other ways of handling these situations can be chosen, some of which can be determined by the user, for example, by issuing a task priority list (505). For example, if terminal (101) is coupled to charger (102) at midnight, a reasonable guess is that the terminal will be there all night. In a simple implementation, the terminal (101) sends a delivery request immediately or when the battery (205) is fully charged. In another embodiment, the terminal (101) can wait until the predicted traffic conditions and data transfer costs are optimal, for example, until midnight.

  In order to optimize the utilization of favorable traffic conditions and data transfer costs, terminal (101) may have to communicate with service providers and network carriers. By utilizing slower connection speeds or channels during periods of traffic when compared to what is possible with immediate downloads and listening, normal daytime services can be achieved at significantly lower costs. Although many calculations are required, there are almost no tasks for transferring data over the air interface. Such tasks include, for example, calculating user profiles and preferences for file compression for memory or disk space / flash memory savings, organizing stored files to prevent file fragmentation, and The resulting power savings and speedup of the terminal. In that case, most of the benefits come from the power saving aspect of the present invention where the terminal (101) actually needs to be coupled to the charger (102).

  Fig. 4 illustrates an example of a learning rule that initiates more intelligent timing of queued tasks. The intelligent cost saving mode is triggered when the user charges the terminal battery every night with a 95% probability and there is an average of at least 6 hours of charging and full battery charging time.

  In another aspect of the invention, the charging device (102) shares processing tasks with the mobile terminal (101) or for the mobile terminal (101) with the terminal inserted in the charging unit (102). Are equipped with a circuit that can completely perform certain tasks.

  Another embodiment of the present invention involves sharing task execution between the mobile terminal (101) and the charging device (102). In such a case, the charger (102) includes various functions in addition to simple battery charging, and is most likely to be custom configured for the mobile terminal. In the case of an embodiment of the present invention, the charging device (102) has an additional memory capacity (209) and can download more data in the background than can be accommodated in the mobile terminal (101) itself. This data is then used in a manner similar to that performed, for example, between today's GSM (Wide Area Vehicle Communication System) cellular mobile device memory and a SIM (Secure Identity Module) card module. Can be swapped or copied between the mobile terminal (101) and the charging device (102).

  In another embodiment, the charging device (102) comprises dedicated processing power (210). This allows the mobile terminal (101) to collect the raw data, transmit it to the charging device (102), and execute a task that only needs to receive the final result of the executed task. Performing tasks that consume memory and energy but are not time critical in the mobile terminal (101) can include, for example, calculating user profiles and preferences related to personalization and recommendation applications, periodic virus scanning Added to the user in case of memory or disk space / flash memory savings due to file compression, organization of stored files to prevent file fragmentation and consequent power savings and speedup of the terminal It does not give value.

  Some of the background tasks are initiated only by the user, many of which can be part of pre-programmed services and maintenance routines and are therefore automatically activated and scheduled by the system. Of course, it should be possible to manually disable the activation of any background task by the user, such as an immediate virus scan.

  Implementation of some of the above embodiments requires a data connection (206, 208) between the mobile terminal (101) and the charging device (102), and appropriate protocols and software to control the process. is there. However, today's mobile terminals are increasingly equipped with standardized platforms that handle data exchange with other devices such as personal computers, sensors, and pointing devices. Such platforms include wireless infrared and LPRF (eg, Bluetooth) based personal area network (PAN) solutions and wired connections to computers, FM radios, external keyboards, and the like. Therefore, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art to implement an appropriate data transfer solution between the charging device (102) and the mobile terminal (101) so that most new mobile terminal models already have the appropriate functionality built-in. It is not difficult for them.

  According to the present invention, having an intelligent charging device with a dedicated processor and memory can greatly reduce the processing tasks of upcoming third generation mobile terminals, for example, in most cases in normal use. it can. As a result, in addition to saving battery power and cost and saving memory and processing power requirements of the mobile terminal, it is possible to further reduce the energy consumption of the mobile terminal and extend standby and operating time. Mobile terminals can be further reduced in weight and size, and the extra power saved in different ways can be directed to the finest video and multimedia applications.
